Abstract

This chapter deals with the study of dissipative, locally anisotropic, and spherically symmetric self-gravitating fluids. The analysis is based on a full causal approach, where the dynamical equations are coupled to causal transport equations for the heat flux, shear, and bulk viscosity in the context of the Müller-Israel-Stewart theory by including the thermodynamic viscous/heat coupling coefficients.
